Departmental Membership in the APA
The American Philological Association (APA) invites college and university departments offering programs in classical studies to become departmental members. The APA instituted this category of membership as a way of giving recognition to those departments that are willing to support the entire field while they do the essential work of passing on an understanding of classical antiquity to each new generation of students. Departmental members will be listed on the Association's web site, in an issue of the Association's Newsletter, and on a page in the Annual Meeting Program. The APA will issue outstanding achievement awards to students designated by the department. Departmental members will also be able to obtain certain APA publications and other benefits at no charge, and they will support two important international classics projects in which the APA participates: the American Office of l'Année philologique and its fellowship to the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (TLL). Departmental dues revenue that exceeds the value of benefits received will be used to support these two projects and, in the case of the TLL Fellowship, will make the APA eligible to receive matching funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) which is currently the major supporter of this project.

However, departments selecting the higher Supporting or Sustaining categories will enable the Association to claim additional matching funds from the NEH so that the Association can focus its fund-raising efforts on the capital campaign and on unrestricted annual giving.. The listings of member departments give appropriate recognition to those selectingthe higher levels.
As of December 1, 2011, the following departments were participating in the program for 2011.
